IRMA is a web-based research management program for ethics. It is used for submitting, processing and reviewing ethics applications. Lodgement of applications and sign off by researchers and Heads of Units within UOW is electronic. Once the application is submitted all researchers are notified that the application is awaiting signoff; the Head of Unit is notified when all researchers have signed.
IRMA allows you to follow the progress of the sign off and the ethics review, and check on key dates such as when progress reports are due. You can also view your application and any correspondence from the HREC.
Submissions consist of three components:
UOW staff and some students will have access to IRMA automatically using their UOW account number. Otherwise you will need to apply for access. Requests should be processed within two working days.
Please Note: UOW accounts will be linked to UOW email addresses, all your correspondence will be sent to this address. If you are unlikely to check this regularly you should arrange for emails to be forwarded automatically to your preferred email address. See here for guidance on how to forward your UOW emails.
